Out of school for a few days to a few weeks, depending on the person. You feel worn out and awful. My mother knew someone in high school who had it so badly and missed so many days that she had to do homeschooling over the summer to catch up with the rest of the class. My best wishes to Olivia, and hopefully she'll be feeling better very soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-23578972197111317922009-04-16T17:10:00.000+10:002009-04-16T17:10:00.000+10:00Such farked news!

It is highly contagious and often spread through kissing, coughing, sneezing, etc.<br /><br />It's definitely not fun. I've had Glandular Fever in the past, and it makes one terribly lethargic and fluey for ages. It lasts for weeks (even months) and it can and does recur (according to the specialist I saw). It usually hits when you're run down, lacking appropiate rest and haven't been eating properly or getting enough fresh air. It is often accompanied by strep throat. Glandular Fever itself cannot be cured by antiobiotics, but the strep throat can be cured by them. In my case, I had GF, strep throat and a UTI all at the same time. Yeah, fun!! The UTI and strep throat were cured long before the GF left me.<br /><br />HSC and VCE students get GF en masse. So not only is it common for that age group, I think it is often a product of too much work and not enough rest. Resistance is low, ..... blah blah.<br /><br />Hope you're feeling better soon, Olivia. Get lots of rest and keep up those fluids. xxxxxxWolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223478762723644411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-33996427338092514532009-04-16T15:25:00.000+10:002009-04-16T15:25:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223478762723644411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-60409265713650112452009-04-16T15:21:00.000+10:002009-04-16T15:21:00.000+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wolfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223478762723644411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5575696150347887818.post-72731189195403335152009-04-16T13:29:00.000+10:002009-04-16T13:29:00.000+10:00whats mononucleosis?whats mononucleosis?Nicnoreply@blogger.com
